Review

A star rating of 2 out of 5.

Tony Sloman

Trapped at Monogram Studios and contracted to a seemingly relentless series of B-westerns, John Wayne managed to hone his persona and learn screencraft in routine films like this one. Director Cullin Lewis (Lewis Collins) does what he can with the desperately average "mistaken identity" plot, but there's not much to work with, despite Eddy Chandler's sterling work as Wayne's comic sidekick, Kansas Charlie. The script is by Lindsley Parsons, who went on to become a prolific producer of westerns.
